Testimonials from REAL people!
“J was a great guide! He was easy to get along with and knew so much about the area and where all the good places to go during different times of day, including when the weather wasn’t 100% ideal. He taught me a lot about how to frame pictures and different concepts to think about in photography. When I got back to my hotel and went through the pictures I took I was so impressed at how they came out and the fact that I actually took them.”
– Kathy Bischoff
“Me and my teenage daughter who is very much into photography took this tour so she can learn a bit more about it while we visit some beautiful places. J was an awesome guide he customized our trip to what we wanted to see, he knows a lot about the area. We saw 2 beautiful waterfalls and the most amazing sunset on top of Blue Ridge Parkway while my daughter learned a lot about photography techniques and her new camera.”
– Adrienn Horvath
“J was absolutely incredible to work with and learn from. He is very knowledgeable about the area and some of the best spots. His eye is like no other and he helps you align your eye to see nature in its best form so you can capture it for yourself! I would most definitely recommend this tour not only for beginners but experienced photographers as well!”
